I think I have a solution for the forage cap, but does anyone reproduce the Pre - Crimea 1840's peaked forage cap, or even the diced band on the Scots guards cap.

Does anyone reproduce the Albert bonnet that Guards wore in Crimea?

Finally, I have a beautifully made cream colored wool shell jacket, but I need the white shoulder knots for other ranks that Guards regiments wore in the 1840's on them.

Any leads would be most appreciated, I putting together the Fatigue look for either a Coldstream Guards or Scots Guards c.1846-Crimea. I have quite a few of the elements, plus the hardest one...I just purchased a beautiful reproduction P-1838 Musket from TOTW. I have an event coming in November and would love to show off this impression.Cheers and thanks, Mike
